However, when science fiction becomes a celebration of technology, its origins cannot be overlooked in Futurism, which made the celebration of progress one of its central themes. Coinciding with the development of the science fiction genre in cinema, around the 1960s, some painters also began to explore this theme in art, such as the celebrated Chesley Bonestell. In Filippo Degasperi's paintings, science fiction is treated in a formal, strongly geometric and abstract manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFilippo Degasperi's pictorial research focuses on the astronomical movements of celestial spheres, bodies suspended in space. The artist seeks to highlight the absolute perfection of their forms and movements. For this reason, Filippo Degasperi's works take on a strongly geometric and rationalist character. In his paintings, in an infinite space, perfect geometric bodies appear, whose movements and trajectories the artist also captures, which in turn form other figures. The rationalist nature of Degasperi's art is also maintained in his form, which embodies a cold and dry hyperrealism. The plastic qualities of the figures are present but not exaggerated, in a sort of illusory two-dimensionality. The pictorial layering is compact, but Degasperi's extraordinary technique stands out in the way he characterizes the objects' textures with metallic and chrome nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFilippo Degasperi (Milan 1928 – 2014) is the inspiration behind the \"Nuova Astrarte\" movement, having already been a member of the first \"Astrarte\" manifesto. Filippo Degasperi's solo exhibitions began in 1958 in Milan, and throughout his career he exhibited his works at over sixty events both in Italy and abroad, garnering numerous awards and recognitions. His paintings are distinguished by a science-fiction and astronomical influence, expressed through rationalist and geometric forms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baglioni Anastasia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218442629506,"sku":"ABAG001","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/1-7_fe0a211b-4cc6-4f42-8275-4fa06edaba29.jpg?v=1768473429","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/filippo-degasperi-la-curiosita-umana-oltrepassa-le-colonne-dercole","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
